Klemmer’s Knights deal confirmed

Klemmer’s Knights deal confirmed

KANGAROOS prop David Klemmer has been cleared to join the Newcastle Knights from next season after the Canterbury Bulldogs secured the services of Sydney Roosters prop Dylan Napa on Monday.

Klemmer will officially join the Knights on a five-year contract worth around $4 million and start training at the club in two weeks.

The Roosters have released Napa, the Queensland Origin forward, from the final year of his contract to join Canterbury on a three-year deal.

The Dogs insisted on finding a replacement before allowing Klemmer to leave.

Klemmer's signing gives the Knights a great chance of making the finals next year.

Klemmer has been a Test and Origin regular since 2014 and is one of the best props in the game. He's the forward leader the Knights have been looking for after they missed out on several other high-calibre big men.

Napa was part of the Roosters premiership side last month and will take Klemmer's place as the leader of the pack at Belmore.
